Republican congressional candidate Brandon Herrera, the party’s frontrunner following the resignation of U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, is scheduled to host a public forum in Alpine later this week.
The event, billed as a “Big Bend Forum,” will take place from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, at the Alpine Country Club, located at 1011 Loop Road. Organizers are encouraging residents to attend and bring questions and concerns.
Herrera, a firearms entrepreneur and social media personality, has emerged as a leading Republican contender in the race to fill the now-vacant congressional seat. His campaign has drawn attention for its strong online following and alignment with conservative grassroots voters across Texas.
The forum marks one of Herrera’s campaign stops in the Big Bend region, where candidates are expected to engage directly with voters on issues ranging from border security and federal land use to economic development in rural communities.
The event is open to the public, according to campaign materials, and is paid for by Brandon Herrera for Congress.
